Disturbing post on Brewers Association Forum Vol. 17-1118. It seems the food/pesticide giants Cargill/ADM/Monsanto want to GMO our barley and wheat supply. As it is, unless you buy organic corn or soybeans your getting GMO's. Do we want to brew GMO Beer? Or have to brew all organic to avoid it? I don't!!!!
